Stjohn's RV-7

So we’re moving along with the guest house, working at our pace, when I get a call. It went something like “I have an aircraft for you. I’ll be there first thing in the morning.” Naturally, I choked, because the main room of the guest house wasn’t done. So last night, Shelley and I went to the Depot and got 100 or so feet of baseboards and molding, and 300 plastic garage floor tiles, the result of which, is this:

In the foreground there is a modified Bingelis wing stand, modified in that I used 2×6’s instead of 2×4’s and a 4×4, beause that’s what I had lying around. The plywood was scrap from the guest house bathroom remodel.
Today, my friend David stopped by to lend a hand moving the big beast(s) into the space. We had to clear out the garage and remove the sliding glass doors so the fuse could be moved on through and the final result was this:

This one capture the “am I stoked or scared?” look.

I have no idea what I’m digging around for in here. Maybe just trying to find the bottom under all the paper.

Here’s Shelley, reflected in the fuselage… Much love and respect to her for the help and the support!

Still some work to do on the guest house, but something tells me I need to get cracking on this plane… Like right now.
